Summary
House and Senate appropriations leaders on Monday warned the White House not to add new controls over how the National Institutes of Health awards billions of dollars in research grants.
The warning came as political officials weigh creating a commission to review NIH grant awards, a step that would insert additional oversight into the funding process.
The dispute centers on NIH’s grant-making system, which channels billions to biomedical research and now faces potential new political scrutiny from the administration.
